  • East Mount 1600 lamination problems, please help!?

    Posted by Dean Poulter on February 20, 2020 at 8:33 am

    I have had my easy mount for 10 years and never had any problems but all of a sudden everything I put through after about 2m it starts creasing the only thing I have changed is the laminate metamark has any one else had any problems

    Cheers Dean

    Too much pressure for the different material?

    Could the laminate or base vinyl be cold and cockling the media as it goes through the rollers.

    I did have an issue with metamark a while back it was the laminate something to do with the backing paper I think. Not used much lately so dont know of it’s the same thing. Bloody annoying tho

    Yeah start laminating then it all wants to bunch into the middle f***ing nightmare. Contact your supplier you might get a free roll out of it.
